Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | G Mosse | TT | Box-seated in 4th about 2Ls back on fence at 1000 M, in 2nd at top of home straight, led 100 M out, tired late and barely clung on for the win. |
| 2 | 3 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | C W Wong | -- | 4-back on fence 6Ls from speed at 1000 M, briefly without clear running at top of home straight, over 2Ls behind winner at 200 M, kept on well, just failed. |
| 3 | 7 | LUCKY WORLD (CJ053) | Y T Cheng | B/H | Over-raced early when about 2Ls or so back in 3rd or 4th at 1000 M, same position but 3Ls down off last turn, one-paced late and narrowly held 3rd. |
| 4 | 8 | GALAXY DANCER (CH179) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Pressed on from wide gate to lead by 2Ls on fence at 1000 M, 2Ls to the good off home bend but headed 100 M out and just missed a place. |
| 5 | 9 | FRAMES DEPOT (CG118) | W M Lai | B | 3Ls down in 6th out 2-wide at halfway, shuffled a little further back off last turn, rallied well final 200 M and came to close to the money. |
| 6 | 5 | CHINESE BOY BOY (CH157) | D Whyte | V | 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls down at 1000 M, under pressure to improve 600 M out, kept on at the same pace, nearest at finish. |
| 7 | 6 | ARISTOCRACY (CG070) | D Beadman | CP | Worse than midfield about 6Ls behind early tempo and a little further behind into home straight, stayed on fairly well final 300 M, never nearer. |
| 8 | 10 | MACAROON (CG238) | M Nunes | B | Quietly ridden rearward and at least 7Ls from the pace through to home straight, made some minor late ground but always in second half of field. |
| 9 | 2 | WONDER KID (CH233) | C K Tong | TT | Trapped 3-wide no cover throughout, around midfield about 3Ls or so from the pace until straightening, paid penalty for extra work in final furlong. |
| 10 | 14 | CENAMIRA (CD129) | S K Sit | -- | 3-wide but with cover in 8th about 5Ls back at 1000 M, further behind and struggling making final turn, offered little in response. |
| 11 | 13 | SPICY HOT (CH064) | M Du Plessis | V-/B2 | Went back to 9Ls last from widest gate, one from rear but still well adrift into home straight, never a factor. |
| 12 | 1 | FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) | G Boss | B | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
| 13 | 12 | TIMBER CITY (CC031) | F Coetzee | B | Unable to muster any early dash, 6Ls behind leader in 9th at 1000 M, came under pressure on the circle, beaten at the top of home straight. |
| 14 | 11 | RISING WIN (CC089) | H W Lai | SR/B1 | Keen when 3-wide no cover early, 1L back in 2nd at 800 M, retreated before final bend, eased down a long way out, unacceptable performance. |
